He's worried that it'll affect his knee. He said he didn't feel good at all out there. |
He's young. Don't throw him out there too early. It's going to take him some time, and he's going to be a good player. I believe that. |
I asked one of their coaches what was the difference between here and, like, Minnesota. And he said: 'No one cares who scores. If Chauncey scores 40 one night and Rip has two, Rip could are less. And that's unique. That's a coach's dream. |
I can't imagine shooting like that, but I didn't give it a second thought because I knew he could play, |
I can't imagine shooting like that, but I didn't give it a second thought because I knew he could play. He's obviously had to overcome something, and that says a lot about him. It tells you obstacles aren't a big thing to him. A lot of people would use that as a disability or wouldn't play basketball. |
I did go to school. I did do math, a little bit, and I do know that it's not good. |
I do believe you have to build a core to become a good basketball team. We're starting to get a core of guys. It would be nice to staple some of the guys' pictures on the wall instead of using the velcro. |
I do not think you are going to draw art from this game at all. It was not a beautiful game in any way. |
I do understand putting them all in at the same time is dangerous. I don't really care. I'm still going to do it right now. I think they need to get out there and play minutes so I'm going to keep doing it. |
I don't know if it was vital [to get the win], but it was big. We needed the win because I look at the whole picture. We still have a lot of work to do, but it was nice that we just played better. We played solid basketball. |
I don't know if we actually deserved to win. But I did think we had just a ton of opportunities down the stretch to win that game. |
I don't think he liked it. But he didn't squawk about it, either. And I think he understands that when he comes off the bench, it makes us a better team. We need him there. |
I don't think our young guys gave us anything. |
I don't think you're going to draw much from this game at all, it was not a beautiful game in any way. I really thought it was tough for both teams, you could see early on, to get it going. |
I figured the fans were here. Give them something. |
